hard to say. all we know is that the other 10 numbers have a mean of

(12*8.5 - (9+13))/10 = 8
so, they could all be 8's

To find the remaining ten numbers, we can use the formula for the mean. The mean of a set of numbers is the sum of all the numbers divided by the total number of numbers.

Let's denote the sum of the remaining ten numbers as X. Since the mean of the 12 numbers is 8.5, we have the equation:

(9 + 13 + X) / 12 = 8.5

First, we simplify the equation by multiplying both sides by 12:

9 + 13 + X = 8.5 * 12

Next, we calculate the right side of the equation:

8.5 * 12 = 102

Now we can solve for X by subtracting 22 from both sides:

X = 102 - 22

X = 80

Therefore, the sum of the remaining ten numbers is 80. To find each individual number, we divide this total by 10. Thus, the remaining ten numbers are:

80 / 10 = 8

So, each of the remaining ten numbers is 8.
